Dear Stormworkers,
In this week's minor update we've added a new type of vehicle damage and more underwater content!
Lightning now has a chance to cause an EMP that will temporarily shut down electrical systems and engines. This can affect any vehicle above an altitude of 120m, increasing the risk of flying helicopters and planes in severe storms. Circuit breakers will also be reset, so you'll need to act fast to prevent your vehicles from plummeting into the ocean.
We've also added 3 new underwater locations to explore with the recently added diving equipment. All underwater locations have been updated to have icons and names on the map screen to help you locate them, and new loot can be found if you're exploring in career mode.
A full list of fixes and changes in this patch can be found below.
Much love <3
